Indeed, if the target is closer, the speed will make it seem to move 'faster' through your site. On the other hand, it's closer, so will appear larger, which will always balance out.

This is true for off angles, too. At 90 degrees, the ship will appear the largest, but it's also moving directly across your FOV, so covers the distance fastest. At 45 degrees, it's spending 'half' its movement towards you and half across your FOV...but, then, it also appears half as wide.

etc.

It's really great, as you don't need to know the AOB *or* range to get the speed. Just how long it is!
